PSEG: A Long-Standing Energy Company

PSEG began in 1903 as the Public Service Corporation - an organization formed from more than 400 gas, electric and transportation companies in New Jersey. By the 1930s the company grew into a huge corporation with subsidiaries throughout the Southern, Eastern and Central United States.

In 1948, Public Service officially became the Public Service Electric and Gas Company or PSE&G. As the company continued to expand, its board of directors decided to create a holding company, dubbed Public Service Enterprise Group-or PSEG as it's known today.
